John Fashanu's Bitter Divorce Battle Rages On As Unlicensed Gun Is Found At His Abuja Home

Ex Football player, John Fashanu's bitter divorce battle with Joseph Yobo mother-in-law, rages on as another controversy has emerged. According to Mirror UK, police authorities have questioned Fashanu after they found an unlicensed weapon at his 20-room mansion in Abuja during a raid. Below how they stated the report;

"Twenty officers stormed the mansion with a search warrant on Saturday. They seized the gun, believed to be capable of firing up to 30 rounds, as well as “five passports” before taking him to the city’s central station to be questioned.
It is understood the former Wimbledon and England striker made a statement before being released from custody after nearly six hours."

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mirror, Fashanu, said:

“I was not arrested - I went to the police station voluntarily. I’ll go back tomorrow morning to the police station. I expect to pay a fine. It was an old fashioned firearm. I don’t actually know what model it is - it’s like a stub gun.”

Fashanu, who is preparing to fight a bitter divorce case against his estranged wife Abigail at Nigeria’s High Court, claimed she called in cops in revenge for him ending their marriage.

“She is trying to do anything to get back at me. They raided my house after she filed a petition with the police. She needs to move on. The gun should have been licensed. I made a mistake and I hold my hands up to that. I have the five passports because they belong to young footballers from my academy. It’s no problem.”

Police agreed to release Fashanu after detaining his 2014 edition black land cruiser jeep as surety.
